My brother vuka xl 110 there is a small hole on the head .wish I can post a picture also to say what I am taking about .I want to know will oil spill out the hole that is in the casing of the head .

Yes, It will leak oil. How much will depend where the hole is. When the engine is running the oil is a pressurised system so it won't be supplying enough oil the the moving parts of the engine. Take a photo with your phone and there is a button on the bottom of the comment box. Use that to add photos. As a general rule If the cylinder head has ANY damage like holes and cracks Replace it. A cylinder head is cheaper than a replacement engine or a bike.

I have a Kymco Ck1 my battery keep draining over 3 day can't seem to find the problem anyone any ideas

I would separate the feed wires from the fuse box/ distribution point and measure any current draw in the separate feeds. That will tell me instantly where the fault/leak is.

Why my Suzuki TF 125 losses power in the midway? What are the causes for such loss of power?

What do you mean by "Midway"? How old is this motorbike? What exactly did you do to clean the carburettor? Is it a new spark plug and a new, clean air filter? Did you empty the fuel tank to remove the fuel tap to clean the filter on the inside of the tap? Is it doing anything else? Things like - is it hard to start, has heavier exhaust smoke or it has a rough and uneven idle.

Where is the rectifier located on my 2004 suzuki katana 600

Behind the radiator on the left side. It is the device with cooling fins, even though the electronic parts are embedded in rubber paste.The location isn't ideal and sudden defects leave people stranded so what people do is relocate the regulator/rectifier to a cooler place. Perhaps to the air inlet, under the air filter. Follow the three, mostly, yellow cables that originate from the stator when you don't find it behind the radiator.

1985 Honda Gold Wing 1200. How can I get my clutch to release? It is so hard. Put a new master cylinder on it and pumped up. It is so hard and they've even bled it. How can I get it to release?

Question edited for clarity, but no idea what you mean by - "What do I need to do to get the gay? The clutching gauge in again?" You issue is probably that all the clutch plates are glued together. Leaving a bike for 21 years will do that. https://www.google.com/search?q=1985+Honda+Gold+Wing+1200+stuck+clutch ..

Cleaned my carburetors and the Jets and now my bike won't start. I have a spark but it won't start.

All questions need FULL 'year make model', as the first 3 words. Then there are 10,000 categories listed by 'make year model'. So we are working blind. Make sure gasoline is being delivered to the carbs by removing the fuel delivery pipe. Carbs come in different systems. If it has a float bowl on the bottom, tap it with the handle of a screwdriver as it may be stuck. Turn the engine over. If it doesn't start, remove the spark plug and see if it is wet with gas? You need three things for an engine to start Clean gas A spark at the right time Compression You have one thing missing //

Were do the fuel lines go to on a mountop 150cc

This particular unit has a typical GY6-style engine with a fuel line designated from the gas tank to the carburetor distinguished by an in-line cylindrical fuel filter located near the center of the line. Best to locate the carburetor distinguished by the location of the air filter, there should be a hose going from that unit up into the gas tank. Ideally, remove the gas tank entirely and it should reveal the gasoline lines directly to the carburetor. The photo shows the fuel line/filter indicated in red, and the location of the carburetor within the blue indicator. carbfuellocation-undefined-undefined-0.png

Gray smoke is coming out of my muffler on my 2017 kymco agility 125.

Normally white smoke is water in the combustion chamber but this is air cooled so either too much fuel, incorrect fuel or burning oil can cause this.

What causes my fat boy to idle just fine but fall on its face back fire and try to shut down while riding

Some common causes and potential solutions: Air/Vacuum Leak: If your Harley develops a vacuum leak in its air intake system, the air-fuel mixture becomes too rich. This can cause frequent stall outs, especially after the bike warms up. Vacuum leaks often occur due to dried-out or cracked air intake boots, faulty gaskets, or worn-out carburetor seals. When air escapes from the intake system, the fuel fills the empty space in the combustion chamber, altering the air/fuel ratio and negatively impacting combustion. Severe vacuum leaks can lead to excess fuel flowing into the exhaust system, causing backfiring and stalling while riding. Clogged Fuel Tank Filter/Fuel Injectors: A blocked fuel tank filter (due to coagulated fuel, moisture, dirt, or corrosion) impairs fuel flow, resulting in a lean air/fuel ratio. On fuel-injected Harleys, clogged fuel injectors produce similar symptoms. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and inspecting fuel filters, helps prevent these issues. Faulty Cam Chain Tensioner: A malfunctioning cam chain tensioner can affect engine timing and cause stalling. Regular checks and replacements are essential to avoid this problem. Faulty Cam Position Sensor: The cam position sensor plays a crucial role in ignition timing. If it malfunctions, it can lead to stalling and backfiring. Clogged Air Cleaner: A dirty air cleaner restricts airflow, affecting combustion efficiency. Regularly clean or replace the air filter to prevent this issue. Ignition System Failure: Faulty ignition components (such as spark plugs, ignition coils, or wires) can cause misfires, backfires, and stalling. Inspect and maintain these parts regularly. Compromised Battery Terminal Connection: Poor battery connections can disrupt electrical flow, affecting the ignition system. Ensure clean and secure battery terminals. Remember that diagnosing and addressing these issues may require professional assistance. Regular maintenance and timely repairs can keep your Fat Boy running smoothly on the road.
